Wimberly v. Brown
Wimberly v. Brown
Opinion of the Court
This was a bill brought by Cargile, as administrator of Crawford, showing that his intestate left property in the city of Albany, to which it appeared he held bond for title from one N. W. Collier, for which his notes were outstanding. The property was sold at administrator’s sale, and was purchased by Brown, who complied with the terms of the sale, and the fund now due and arising from such sale is the subject matter of this controversy. The notes outstanding for the purchase-money are about $700 00, and it further appears that Wimberly, the plaintiff in error, claims a lien of judgment obtained "at common law, in 1856 or 1857, upon which an appeal has been entered, and final judgment obtained against said Collier. The bill makes the various creditors, of whom there are outstanding many and for various amounts, parties, requiring them to come into Court and adjudicate their said claims according to their priorities. The bill also alleges certain amounts due to the administrator for actual expenses paid out upon the property, and prays a perpetual injunction against theinforcementof Wimberly’s^, fa., upon the ground that Collier had aliened a large amount of other property since the sale of the property in dispute. Upon the final hearing of the case, the jury found a decretal verdict requiring Brown to pay the purchase-money and interest; also, decreed the payment of the amount due the administrator for expenses and such compensation as he was entitled to, as such administrator, first to be discharged out of said fund; next, that he be paid his reasonable expenses for counsel fees in and about the litigation, and that the balance be paid to the notes for the purchase-money, and then to the fi. fa. in favor of Wimberly.
Judgment affirmed.
